Anillin promotes astral microtubule-directed cortical myosin polarization

Cytokinesis is controlled by the central spindle and astral microtubules. In this paper, we show that the scaffold protein anillin contributes to aster-directed furrowing. We also demonstrate that anillin can associate with microtubules and that microtubule density correlates with the functional inhibition of anillin.
